"I totally agree with you,Bork. It's not bad. It's all listeanable, but you're right. There are no interesting songs here. Really,there's nothing essential of theirs after Pinkerton. Rivers Cuomo decided medocre was the artistic height he was willing to reach for from here on." Reply

"Ryan Adams may be a pretentious prick, but the man can write a song, no question about it. When he's not putting out multiple albums per year, and focuses, albums like this can happen.

"This is my favorite album by Low. Kicks off with the wonderful Sunflower before plodding along nicely. Then just when you feel the album needs a bit of an injection you get it with July which starts a run of incredible songs all the way to the end. great stuff" Reply

"Wonderful album! Definitely one of my favorite electronic albums. I consider it one of my top 100 as well. It's trippy, it's chill, it's upbeat and peaceful all at once." Reply
